I did just that the past two weeks. I never watched BB and then caught all 5 seasons within 2 weeks. I have to say that this show was absolutely amazing. There is no way I could have waited five years to catch all that. My curiosity would have eaten me up.

Some thoughts:

Why in the fuck did Walt put up with Jesse for so long. Jesse was so fucking stupid it hurt my brain. I literally cried laughing when he picked up Walt at the airport in the meth lab camper. You wanted Jesse to get his shit together so bad because he truly was a likeable character.

The saddest part of it was watching the relationship between Walt and Jesse deteriorate. Jesse was oblivious to the situations that he put Walt in, and never really grasped that he was responsible for 90% of the bad shit that happened to his loved ones and to himself. Watching the events unfold with Jane/Andrea broke my heart. It's sad Jesse will never understand that Walt truly loved him and thought of him as family.

I highly doubt any show will ever match the epic level that Breaking Bad has achieved. Amazing characters, story, cinematography and acting all rolled up into one. I'm glad to have waited so that way I could catch all this epicness without missing a show or having to wait.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

it's also great, cause all you need to do to sell it is have someone watch the first 5 minutes. that's it, you've just created a new fan.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

Anyone catching Better Call Saul? I wasn't too sure but so far it has been pretty great. Really captures a lot of the interesting vibe from BB. And Odenkirk is really good.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

i just dont seem to get it with Better Call Saul...saw most of last night and all the first episode. Lead role is decent, but the show is lacking imo in many areas. Kinda boring.

Was never a big fan of Breaking Bad

So if you didn't like that you probably won't like Saul...

If its associated with something so critically acclaim as Breaking Bad Im willing to give it a chance especially with Bob Odenkirk staring. Its not that i hate it but I dont like this kind of single linear plot structure drama. After 2 episodes, im like who else do i really care in the story about other than Saul who is a Coen Bros-like completely unlikable lead. It can be slow to develop sometimes and then too much bs in other parts.

I did think the desert scene was pretty genius though

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

First ep was kinda slow but it's to be expected. It ended with a bang though. I'll check out ep 2 tonight.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

ep2 was better, but it's still lacking in the "why should i care" dept. it's decent, but not amazing so far.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

Yeah but what shows are truly amazing after 2 episodes? Even BB took a while to build up. It's like reading the first chapter of a book.

BB took 5 minutes of the first episode. best opening scene, ever.

GoT's first ep was pretty terrible though. "here's 500 people and 0 reason to care about any of them." turned out alright though.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5

I'm hooked, I love Saul. The best line so far was Charlie to Saul (James McGill), "wouldn't you rather build your own success than ride on someone else's coattails?"

Brilliant reference to the coattails of one Walter White.

Not to mention the obvious parallel with Saul making his first foray into the underworld in episode 1. Right away, he broke bad, and now we get to see all that takes place from point A to point B.

Don't put it past Vince Gilligan to make this show every bit as brilliant as his first masterpiece.
